Abstract
Nickel (II) and copper (II) complexes of highly unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of half-units N-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphtone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (HL) and N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (HL1) with the glyoxalphenylhydrazone. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, IR, 1H NMR and UV spectroscopy.
